TITLE: BUILDING OF SUCCESS: Why Your Mistakes Are Your Most Valuable Asset

We live in a world obsessed with the "perfect" first take. A world that seeks results without mistakes but the truth is that these are impossible because in this life there is no word like “SUCCESS or BREAKTHROUGH” without getting to mention mistakes or accidents.

Mistakes are meant to teach us, not define us. Making mistakes is a thing and being able to learn from your mistake in order to avoid it next time is still another thing. It is said, “In life, don't carry your mistakes around with you, use them as stepping stones to rise above”. Don't chase success if you are not able to learn from your mistakes, whenever you fall because of your mistake just rise up again, know your mistakes, take corrections and continue moving because mistakes are part of learning.

Some of the world’s greatest inventories weren’t planned—they were "accidents" that someone was clever enough to learn from, for instance:

★ It is said that Dr. John Pemberton, a pharmacist, intended to discover medicinal drugs to treat headaches. When “accidently” mixed with carbonated water, the popular coca cola was made.

★ it is also said that Alexander Fleming left a petri dish out by mistake, and it grew mold. Instead of just washing it out, he looked closer and discovered Penicillin, saving millions of lives.

It is the mistakes we learn from that make us perfect. Each hard or disappointing moment is a lesson which we must adjust to for next time. Without the risk of failure, you never get the chance to become something more productive than where you started. “A mistake made is a lesson learned” and “Mistakes are proof that you are learning”. Don’t let a setback get you down. Always remember:

"A mistake made is a lesson learned.”
